August 18th, 2007 - the 6th month
of God, 4th day
Judaism calls this month Elul. We can not verify this by the Hebrew Scriptures.
No name in scripture for the 6th month. ( end of August / September )
-----------
What you might hear this in Judaism as a meaning, however they are all made up opinions.
Elul comes from Song of Solomon 6:3 ?
Nehemiah 6:15
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth
day of the month Elul
,
Song of Solomon 6:3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved i s mine: he feedeth among the lilies
25 Elul - first day of creation, 6th days later-
first day of creation (rosh ha-shanna - tishri ) first man created )
this is all made up!

Some news:
Israel to give up Temple Mount?
Posted: August 17, 2007
JERUSALEM -- Palestinian negotiators drafting an agreement
behind the scenes with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office have made clear
they will not accept any final peace deal with Israel unless the Jewish state
forfeits the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site, WND has learned.
According to a report in Israel's Yediot Aharonot daily yesterday,
Olmert is willing to discuss joint Israeli-Palestinian control over the Temple
Mount complex. The report didn't state the positions of the Palestinian side
on the issue.
A chief Palestinian negotiator, speaking to WND on condition
his name be withheld, said yesterday, "there can be no agreement with
Israel unless we get complete sovereignty of the Mount. Once Palestinian control
over the [Temple Mount] is fixed, then we will make assurances for Jewish visits
to the site."
The chief negotiator said aides from Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization have been hammering out the parameters
of a final status agreement for presentation in November at a U.S.-backed international
summit regarding the Middle East.
Issues already discussed between Israel and the Palestinians
reportedly include the division of parts of Jerusalem and debates regarding
permanent borders between Israel and the PA.
The November international conference and talk
from the Bush administration the past few weeks has led many here to speculate
the U.S. will push in the near future for intense Israeli-Palestinian negotiations
leading to a Palestinian state.
With a year and a half left in office, President
George Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have been urging meetings
between Abbas and Olmert to establish a framework for momentum leading to a
breakthrough at November's conference. Olmert and Abbas have been meeting bi-monthly
in summits brokered by the U.S.
Asked by WND whether Olmert is willing to forfeit the Temple
Mount in an agreement with the Palestinians, David Baker, a spokesman for the
prime minister, had no comment.
Jews, Christians barred from praying on
Mount
The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism. Muslims say
it is their third holiest site.
The First Jewish Temple was built by King Solomon in the 10th
century B.C. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.
The Second Temple was rebuilt in 515 B.C. after Jerusalem was
freed from Babylonian captivity.
That temple was destroyed by the Roman Empire in A.D. 70.
Each temple stood for a period of about four centuries.
The Jewish Temple was the center of religious Jewish worship.
It housed the Holy of Holies, which contained the Ark of the Covenant and was
said to be the area upon which God's "presence" dwelt.
The Al Aqsa Mosque now sits on the site.
The temple served as the primary location for the offering
of sacrifices and was the main gathering place in Israel during Jewish holidays.
The Temple Mount compound has remained a focal point for Jewish
services over the millennia. Prayers for a return to Jerusalem have been uttered
by Jews since the Second Temple was destroyed, according to Jewish tradition.
Jews worldwide pray facing toward the Western Wall, a portion of an outer courtyard
of the Temple left intact.
The Al Aqsa Mosque was constructed around
A.D. 709 to serve as a shrine near another shrine,
the Dome of the Rock, which was built by an Islamic caliph. Al Aqsa was meant
to mark where Muslims came to believe Muhammad, the founder of Islam, ascended
to heaven.
Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Quran
. Islamic tradition states Mohammed took a journey
in a single night from "a sacred mosque" believed to be in Mecca
in southern Saudi Arabia to "the farthest mosque" and from a rock
there ascended to heaven. The farthest mosque later became associated with
the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Currently under Israeli control, Jews and
Christians are barred from praying on the Mount.
The Temple Mount was opened to the general public until September
2000, when the Palestinians started their intifada by throwing stones at Jewish
worshipers after then-candidate for prime minister Ariel Sharon visited the
area.
Following the onset of violence, the new Sharon government
closed the Mount to non-Muslims, using checkpoints to control all pedestrian
traffic for fear of further clashes with the Palestinians.
The Temple Mount was reopened to non-Muslims in August 2003.
It still is open but only Sundays through Thursdays, 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and
12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., and not on any Christian, Jewish or Muslim holidays
or other days considered "sensitive" by
the Waqf.
During "open" days, Jews and Christian are allowed
to ascend the Mount, usually through organized tours and
only if they conform first to a strict set
of guidelines, which includes demands that they not pray or bring any "holy
objects" to the site. Visitors are banned from
entering any of the mosques without direct
Waqf permission. Rules
are enforced by Waqf agents, who watch tours closely and alert nearby Israeli
police to any breaking of their guidelines.
'Secret' plan would give Palestinians West Bank
( Judea and Samaria
)
The talk of behind-the-scenes negotiations follows a WND report
earlier this week stating newly installed Israeli President Shimon Peres has
quietly drafted a plan for the Jewish state to evacuate and transfer to the
Palestinians nearly the entire West Bank and several Arab Israeli cities located
within territory that is undisputedly Israel's according to the international
community.
The West Bank (
Judea and Samaria
) is strategic territory that runs alongside Jerusalem and is
within rocket range of Tel Aviv and Israel's international airport. It is home
to many biblical Jewish communities and some of Judaism's holiest sites.
Peres has presented his initiative to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
and to top aides for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas the past
few weeks, after he took office as Israeli president last month, diplomatic
sources in Jerusalem told WND.
The official role of president here is limited largely to ceremonial
matters; the president does not create foreign policy.
Olmert is mulling over the plan and agrees with much of its
contents, the diplomatic sources said.
Peres' plan calls for Israel to hand 97-percent
of the West Bank over to Abbas, with Israel retaining
a small number of the territory's Jewish communities. In exchange for Israel
keeping some land, the Jewish state will give the PA control of Arab Israeli
cities north of Tel Aviv which, together with the evacuated West Bank territory,
would amount to the equivalent of 100 percent of the West Bank.
Already during his bi-weekly meetings with
Abbas, Olmert has granted a number of security concessions to Abbas regarding
increased Palestinian control of the West Bank.
The Israeli prime minister last month granted
amnesty to 178 gunmen from Abbas' Fatah organization who comprise most of the
senior leadership of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the declared military wing
of Fatah that is responsible for every suicide bombing in Israel the past three
years.
Olmert is reportedly considering granting
amnesty to 206 more Brigades terrorists. According to Palestinian officials,
the Israeli Prime Minister already informed the PA that Fatah gunmen are largely
immune from Israeli anti-terror raids regardless of whether they are officially
on Olmert's amnesty list.
Also, Olmert is strongly considering removing hundreds of Israel
Defense Forces roadblocks and checkpoints situated in strategic sites located
throughout the West Bank.( Judea and
Samaria ) The IDF sees the checkpoints as crucial in
helping stop terrorists, including suicide bombers, from infiltrating Jewish
cities.
As well, in a scantily-reported but major move, Israel last
week started allowing armed Palestinian policemen to patrol areas in the West
Bank that fall under Israeli security control according to the 1993 Oslo Accords.
Security in the territory, referred to as Area B, is supposed to be ensured
by the IDF, which still monitors the area but has allowed for an unprecedented
stepped-up armed Palestinian security presence there.
In response to the renewed momentum toward
a Palestinian state, rabbis for the Yesha Council of Jewish communities in
Judea and Samaria the West Bank yesterday slammed the Israeli government
for considering major concessions.
The council released a statement expressing "concern at
the irresponsible diplomatic moves being made during these days, the main point
of which is the consent to the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea
and Samaria. These moves are founded upon irrelevant considerations of political
survival, and are being made in total opposition to the opinion of the defense
establishment."

serve them;

walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and

9 But
thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to
death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn
the inhabitants of their city, saying,
Let us go and serve other gods
, which ye have not known;

shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it
be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword,
destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with
the edge of the sword.

and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for
the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
17 And
there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD
may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion
upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;

gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be
gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse

Jeremiah 44:15
Then all the men which knew that their wives
had burned incense unto other gods
, and all the women that stood by, a great
multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros,
answered Jeremiah, saying, 16
As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us
in the name of the LORD, we will not
hearken unto thee.
17 But
we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to
burn incense unto the queen of heaven
, and to pour out drink offerings unto
her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the
cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of
victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 But
since we left off to burn incense to
the queen of heaven, and to pour
out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed
by the sword and by the famine.
19 And
when we burned incense to the queen
of heaven, and poured out drink offerings
unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings
unto her, without our men?
20 Then
Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all
the people which had given him that answer, saying,
21 The
incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land,
did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
22 So
that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and
because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land
a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at
this day.
23 Because
ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have
not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes,
nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this
day.
24 Moreover
Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the
LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
25 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have
both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will
surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to
the queen of heaven
and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye
will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
26 Therefore
hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold,
I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be
named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The
Lord GOD liveth.
27 Behold,
I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah
that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine,
until there be an end of them.
28 Yet
a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt
into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the
land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or
theirs.
29 And
this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this
place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
30 Thus
saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand
of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah
king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and
that sought his life.
Hosea 3:1

thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy
gods will

thou art vile.

They drank wine, and praised the
gods of gold
, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and
of stone.
23 But
hast lifted up thyself against the LORD of heaven; and they have brought the
vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy
concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised
the
gods of silver
, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone,
which see not, nor hear, nor know:
and the God in whose hand thy breath
is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:

not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the
temple of the great goddess
Diana should be despised, and her magnificence
should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
Acts 19:35
And when the townclerk had appeased the people,
he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the
city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great
goddess Diana,
and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Acts 19:37
For ye have brought hither these men, which are
neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your
goddess.

For though there be that are called
gods

But to us
there is but one God, the Father, of whom
are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things,
and we by him.
1 John 5:21
Little children, keep yourselves

It is an outstanding, 90-minute music video, and serves as the movie metaphor
in homage to the King

Elvis Presley, singer, performer, American icon,
died 30 years ago on
Aug. 16, 1977. While there can be no dispute that his physical presence has
"left the building," any one who doubts that
his spirit lives on
need only travel to Memphis anytime between the 10th and the 17th
of August, the time the locals like to call
"Elvis Week."
The King of Rock and Roll lives on, in the hearts,
the souls and the wallets of the faithful, three decades after his passing,
tethered in ways that only they can experience. If you don't get it, you never
will. If you get it, then you will never surrender to the confines of the physical
world. For you, Elvis lives...
[2] I am
the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3] Thou shalt have no other gods
before me.
